Chapter 587 Li Chengye invites the wolf into the house
Not to mention one hundred and fifty taels, even fifty taels, his parents couldn't afford it.
Before he left, he stole twenty taels of silver from home.
He could see clearly that there were only a few small silver ingots left in the family's savings jar.
The remaining change was still needed to pay for the house construction and the outstanding material costs.
So this time, even if he went to his father, he wouldn't be able to come up with the money.
At this moment, the only way to survive is to get news about food in Baoshan Town.
As for what the outcome would be when these people confronted the group from Baoshan Town, he couldn't say for sure.
However, if there are only these people in the gambling house, Baoshan Town is probably more likely to win.
Thinking of the skills of Lu Qingqing and others he had seen before, Li Chengye's eyes flashed.
If these guys in the casino were defeated by those in Baoshan Town, he would insist that he was forced into it.
His mother is in Baoshan Town. She will not watch him die with her own eyes, so she will definitely plead for him.
But if these guys in the casino win, I have to tell them in advance and let them let me go after they get the food.
At that time, he would pretend that he knew nothing about the food being stolen and go directly to the Sun Mansion to find his father.
From then on, he followed his father and worked diligently in the Sun Mansion.
Although you won’t get rich, at least you won’t have your fingers chopped off or lose your life.
While Li Chengye was thinking about a way out, Fei Ge was also having a heated discussion with a group of brothers.
Soon, they came up with a grand plan!
The city is rarely so chaotic nowadays, it is a good time to expand the territory.
Moreover, food in the city is in high demand and the price is high.
If they could really get a batch of food, they would have the capital.
By then, how many thugs can be recruited with this batch of food?
With thugs, there is no need to worry about not being able to replicate the glory of Huwei Fighting.
The more Fei Ge and his brothers discussed, the more excited they became. They no longer took this inconspicuous little gambling house they were in seriously.
He could all imagine making money from this batch of grain.
He would buy a few more shops and open a few gambling houses or brothels to make money.
By then, with more thugs under his command, he will be able to dominate Yining County like Huwei Daxing!
Thinking of this, Brother Fei clapped his hands excitedly, turned around and walked over, pulled Li Chengye up from the ground, and began to inquire carefully about the situation in Baoshan Town.
Li Chengye looked at Brother Fei, whose face was ferocious with excitement, and stammered as he reported the number of adult men in Baoshan Town.
Then, he explained the total population of Baoshan Town, how the housing was allocated, and so on.
Li Chengye even revealed that there was a pharmaceutical factory at the foot of the mountain.
But he concealed the fact that Lu Qingqing and others assisted the county magistrate in defeating Hu Wei.
If this matter were to be made known, he was afraid that Brother Fei would not have the courage to go.
In that case, his information would be worthless.
He was using these fingers well and didn't want them to be chopped off.
When Fei Ge heard Li Chengye say that there were so many adult men in Baoshan Town, his brows also frowned.
If the group of people he has wants to rob a village of more than a dozen households, it is possible that they can succeed.
But if it is a big village like Baoshan Town, it won’t work.
Li Chengye saw Fei Ge frowning, fearing that Fei Ge would think it was not worth going with only food, so he hurriedly said:
"By the way, our Baoshan Town specializes in weaving silk, and almost every family has some extra money.
Among them, some families are extremely wealthy.
The houses we live in are all made of blue bricks and large tiles.
For example, the family not far from my house collected silk and sold it in the city, making a lot of money.
Adding the original capital, I estimate that her family has at least six or seven hundred taels of silver.
You don't know that her house doesn't use window paper, but glass.
I heard that glass is very valuable!
If you go, you will definitely gain more than just my 150 taels of silver!"
Brother Fei was a little surprised when he heard this.
"How can there be such a wealthy family in your remote mountain village?"
Li Chengye nodded quickly.
"Not only is her family rich, but when we fled here together, their group was full of horse-drawn carriages."
When Fei Ge heard that it was all about carriages, he was completely tempted.
A horse plus the carriage frame would cost at least several dozen taels.
How can someone who can spend dozens of taels to buy a carriage be without money?
However, he couldn't eat such a big fat sheep by himself!
It seems that we have to seek external help.
I thought about all the people who might be able to use it, but found that there was no one who could eat it.
Just when Fei Ge was feeling anxious, he suddenly thought of the group of refugees outside the city whom he had met a few days ago.
Those people have robbed many wealthy families recently and are very rich.
A few days ago, two of the men came into the city to deal with stolen goods, and came to his place to gamble.
It was at that time that he got in touch with that side.
There were quite a lot of refugees there, and they were ruthless in their actions.
He knew that goods and people from five or six shops had been seized.
In the meantime, they demanded a large ransom, so I guess they had quite a bit of money.
But the only bad thing for them was that they couldn't go into the city openly to buy food.
Remembering that the man had asked him to help buy some food, Brother Fei gradually made up his mind.
There is just one thing. If this matter involves the refugees outside the city, we will have to discuss the distribution of the looted items.
Brother Fei thought so and asked Li Chengye for some details.
Li Chengye told everything he knew except the one about Lu Qingqing.
Finally, he asked Fei Ge not to hurt his mother when he left.
Brother Fei agreed perfunctorily and went out to contact someone.
......
Two days later in the evening.
Baoshan Town.
Lu Qingqing was husking corn under the shed in the yard. On one side, there was a high pile of corn husks, and on the other side, there were only a few leaves left of the corn.
Next to him, Qin Lang was weaving corn leaves together.
These corns with leaves will be braided into strings of corn braids and hung under the eaves to dry.
Not only Lu Qingqing's family, but every family in Baoshan Town is now braiding corn.
Many families even hang their braided corn braids on it.
If you look down from the sky above Baoshan Town, you can see strings of yellow corn hanging under the eaves of every household, which is very beautiful.
While Lu Qingqing was peeling the corn husks, she casually brushed off a fat worm that had crawled onto her leg.
This kind of corn is particularly prone to growing these kind of fleshy worms.
Speaking of which, the chickens in the space especially like to eat these plump insects.
Lu Qingqing walked to the gate and looked around. Seeing that no one was walking outside, she simply blocked the gate from the inside.
Then, he returned to the corn pile and put a large piece of corn in the yard directly into the space.
At the same time, use your mental power to quickly pick out the bugs in the corn.
Although this method consumes some energy, it is very useful.
Many insects huddled inside the corn leaves were also picked out.
As the corn went in and out, a large group of fat worms appeared in the chicken coop.
For a while, there was chaos in the chicken coop.
Several of the old hens were fighting for insects while protecting their chicks.
Seeing this, Lu Qingqing directly prepared special meals for a few hens with chicks.
In the past two days, the two men cleaned the corn roots in the field and turned the field over again.
